High PTH levels may be caused by: 1  A parathyroid gland growth (hyperplasia) or a parathyroid tumor. 2  A low level of calcium in the blood. A low blood calcium level can be caused by kidney disease, kidney failure, severe vitamin D deficiency, or an inability of the intestines to absorb calcium from food.
The equity multiplier is a financial leverage ratio that measures the amount of a firmâs assets that are financed by its shareholders by comparing total assets with total shareholderâs equity. In other words, the equity multiplier shows the percentage of assets that are financed or owed by the shareholders.
The method of Lagrange multipliers relies on the intuition that f(x, y) cannot be increasing at a maximum in the direction of any neighboring point where g = 0. If it were, we could walk along g = 0 to get higher, meaning that the starting point wasn't actually the maximum.or this to be a probability distribution the sum of the probabilities at each point must equal 1, so our constraint is: We use Lagrange multipliers to find the point of maximum entropy, , across all discrete probability distributions on.
